Choose the right perspective
Match the person to your format, since running data for a large supermarket chain differs from doing it for an online grocer or a regional operator. Also weigh whether you need help with data platforms and engineering or with analytics and AI use cases, and favor people whose notes describe that kind of work.
Questions to take into the conversation

- 02What did you change in your data platform before customer and store analytics could scale across the business?
- 03Which grocery data investments paid off first, and how did you show the return to leadership?
